the deal is done — the dup signs an agreement with the consevatives to bolster theresa may. it's taken 18 days for a confidence and supply deal to be hammered out. at its heart — money — an extra billion pounds for northern ireland over two years. this agreement will operate to deliver a stable government in the united kingdom's national interest at this vital time. and what about its implications for the resumption of power—sharing at stormont? also this lunchtime. government concern as all tower blocks so far tested for combustible building materials after the grenfall tower block fire have failed. eu nationals living in the uk will get more detail later — of what rights they can expect to have after brexit. a minute's silence is observed in memory of those affectected in the finsbury park mosque terror attack. the size of three football pitches

and weighing 65,000 tonnes — the royal navy's new aircraft carrier prepares for its first sea trials. and coming up in the sport on bbc news, formula 1 championship leader sebastian vettel is urged to calm down after being penalised for a collision with rival lewis hamilton in azerbaijan. good afternoon, and welcome to the bbc news at one. it's taken 18 days but a deal has now been done between the dup and the conservatives which will guarantee the party's support for theresa may's minority government. in what's described as a 2—year ‘confidence and supply‘ arrangement,

the prime minister has the backing of the dup's 10 mps, after losing her majority in the general election. but while dup leader arlene foster has successfully negotiated a deal worth a billion pounds, she faces some perhaps tougher talks ahead — parties in belfast have raised concerns that the dup—tory deal has undermined the negotiations on restoring devolution at stormont and the deadline for those to succeed is thursday. 0ur political correspondent iain watson reports. why has it taken so long? theresa may had wanted to seal the deal. that was with relief she came out to greet her new allies and potential political saviours in downing street. the dup leader arlene foster admitted progress had been slow but her claim to be at the heart of uk politics seemed to be borne out by the signing of a formal agreement with the government. today we have an agreement with the conservative

hardy on support for government in parliament. and she certainly announced which parts of the conservative manifesto she'd succeeded in beating wing. both parties have agreed there will be no change to the pension triple lock and the universal nature of the winter fuel payment across united kingdom. and she revealed how much the government was willing to pay for her support. we welcome this financial support of £1 billion in the next two gears as well as providing new flexibility is an almost £500 million previously committed to northern ireland. as a consequence spending power of almost one and a half billion will be available to address the unique circumstances of northern ireland. so what else does this handshake mean? deal is intended to last for a full parliament and would ensure support for laws on national security, guaranteed financial support forfarmers,

security, guaranteed financial support for farmers, maintained defence spending as a share of national income and of course deliver brexit. the deal with the dup means theresa may will win a crucial vote in the queen's speech, her legislative programme for the next two years, here at westminster on wednesday but the scope of that deal is limited. it doesn't mean she will get support on a whole range of other issues in parliament which means she will still face knife edge boats in this place in the coming months. but there is a bigger issue, the good friday agreement sign every 20 years ago, largely ended the conflict in northern ireland. theresa may critics says it could not be at risk. the government can not be at risk. the government can no longer be seen as an evenhanded negotiator in the northern ireland peace process. that is a very high price to pay to cling on to power regardless. but the government says an extra billion pounds will help the peace process and encourage the return of the power—sharing executive to the problems. this money will be spent by the northern ireland executive, it won't be spent

bya ireland executive, it won't be spent by a party, it will be spent by an executive chats to be by law, cross— party executive chats to be by law, cross—party so everyone in northern ireland will be able to express priorities and benefit from this extra support. incredibly influential, that's how arlene foster has described her ten mps, the of today's the make that ever got to dispute. 0ur political correspondent chris mason is in downing street. a deal but at a price? yes, at a price and at a big price, simon. 0ne and a half billion pounds, an extra alien pounced magic out of some work, they'll be questions about exactly where that money emerges from, an additional half £1 billion which dup sources say was technically allocated to northern ireland all ready by the previous government but was now impossible for northern ireland politicians to access, but has now been listened to

make sure they can get hold of the money but there have been questions raised from critics effectively saying what about us? the labour first minister of wales carwyn jones saying exactly that, this his view amounts to a bunk to prop up the prime minister and a week government. worth reflecting that even with those votes, those ten mps from the democratic unionist party, willing to back the conservatives on big votes but not every boat, it's still only leaves those two parties with a working majority of 13, in other words, very precarious, you only need a large taxi full of disgruntled conservative mps to say we don't like this particular thing ona we don't like this particular thing on a particular night and theresa may still has a huge headache. chris, thank you. as we've heard — there could be considerable fallout to this deal in northern ireland. the dup hasn't been involved in negotiations at such a high level in westminster before, but has taken part in many talks

processes in northern ireland. the latest deadline to restore the power—sharing stormont executive is thursday. northern ireland faces the prospect of direct rule from westminster if no breakthrough can be achieved. 0ur ireland correspondent chris page reports. the dup began as a party of protest, now it's very much a party of power. its founder at the reverend ian paisley once embodied hardline unionism. never, never, never! but eventually there was a remarkable compromise. in 2007 the dup reached an agreement with sinn fein, is to paste became the joint head of a power—sharing default government along with the former ira commander martin mcguinness. however the relationship between the parties was never easy. earlier this year sinn fein pulled out of the stormont executive, northern ireland has been

without a default government for almost six months. two deadlines have already come and gone but the government says thursday really is the final date to restore power—sharing, otherwise it's likely ministers in london have to take over making decisions for this part of the uk. this former dup minister thinks the deal in westminster increases the prospect of fun at stormont. all politicians here will wa nt to stormont. all politicians here will want to see extra money for health and education, if there is extra money coming for specific infrastructure projects, that will benefit everyone in northern ireland, not just dup benefit everyone in northern ireland, notjust dup boaters. there area number of ireland, notjust dup boaters. there are a number of sticking points at stormont, sinn fein want legal recognition for the irish and would, the dup have been opposed to bringing in same—sex marriage in northern ireland. some observers think nationalists will be wary of the deal between the main unionist party and the conservatives. sinn fein in particular and the other ones that count are going to be very suspicious of what's in the deal because even if there is a document and details, first they had to

decide if there's anything else behind—the—scenes that we don't know, what could there be, for either be? the key question here is that the agreement to stabilise the uk government will help to bring stability to northern ireland. there arejust over stability to northern ireland. there are just over three days left to save devolution. and chris page is in belfast. the last talks to 18 days, no luxury of that with this set. that's absolutely right simon and right now here at stormont negotiators are the game closely at this document would which outlines the deal between the dup and the tories at westminster. a lot will depend on how sinn fein react to it, they haven't said anything publicly yet. as ever in northern ireland, there are two ways of looking at this, one is, many millions more for schools, hospitals, roads, what's not to like? the best thing is for people to get back into government and spend that cash, on the other hand,

could nationalists feel a sense of unease about the dup and conservatives working closely together in london, could it mean, some of them would say, the dup get special favours amounting to them getting an answer advantage when it comes to politics back home? andy moore talking to be done here, not a lot of time to do it, an apparent redlined version wenger re: arlene foster herself, they said they would not serve in a power—sharing executive led by the dup leader as first minister as long as a public inquiry is going on into the controversial green energy scheme at the centre of the row which brought down the institutions of government here back in january down the institutions of government here back injanuary and that public inquiry is expected to go on until next year. so that in particular is one circle that it is hard to see how it can be squared, time is certainly running out here for eddie leie, the government says that there is no deal by thursday, the kos public services in northern ireland had special measures to get going, it will take westminster ministers to unlock the cash flow and that means direct route from london.

chris, thank you. every single one of the sixty tower blocks that has been tested since the fire at grenfell tower, has failed fire safety tests — and more than 500 more still need to be tested because they have external cladding. the prime minister is expected to be updated on the scale of the crisis when she chairs a meeting of the grenfell tower recover taskforce later today. 0ur correspondent tom burridge reports. residents in camden still moving up this morning. matteo and angela told us this morning. matteo and angela told us they didn't feel safe. we don't own the flat and so we found out from an article online that we had to move out so we came back straightaway and we found lots of people, we couldn't sleep year. straightaway and we found lots of people, we couldn't sleep yeahm was force on a third night sleeping ina was force on a third night sleeping in a sports centre. so many people and their pets suddenly without a home. hundreds moved out at the weekend as cladding similar to that

on grenfell tower was stripped of. any though have stayed put and experts say the cladding is just one factor. it's an in total combination of things, you can have a cladding fire and no one be killed, we've seen fire and no one be killed, we've seen that in dubai and melbourne in australia and i think what camden have found, something far more complex going on in here and that's why they've taken the action have. in other parts of the country like you're in billingham in county durham were cladding is being removed. similar scenes are expected in doncaster. samples of the suspect cladding had been brought to the building research establishment in watford, this old company video shows a test on building insulation, not cladding. but on a smaller scale samples of cladding from 60 buildings across the country have now been tested and not one has passed. what's not clear is whether the compa ny‘s tests

passed. what's not clear is whether the company's tests are stricter than national bio—safety standards before grenfell tower. and in portsmouth, the authorities are urging the government to also think and possibly act on privately owned buildings to. there's been a lot of hotels and other types of buildings that have been clad, we don't know at this stage whether there is problems in those as well but there may very well be cause the companies built in. and private sector developments have not been obliged to send away samples and i think that's something the government ought to look out, there ought to be some consistency if the material is on safe on one type of building, it's unsafe on all. samples of cladding from hundreds more buildings are due to be tested, this afternoon the prime ministers will meet the grenfell tower task force, one central question is how cladding for which apparently breached fire safety rules was installed on tower blocks across the country. thousands of residents from four tower blocks in north—west london are being housed in temporary accommodation after being told

to leave their homes on friday following fire safety concerns. our correspondent keith doyle is at a nearby leisure centre where many of them were taken to. some residents refusing to leave, what's happened to them? the building behind me has been at the centre of this evacuation was as since friday night, 100 people stayed here, last nightjust1li people stayed here, the rest of the broad thousand people have either been given temporary accommodation 01’ as you been given temporary accommodation or as you say they refused to move. camden council and giving exact numbers but we estimate around 200 people remain in theirflats in the four blocks here on this estate. how far camden council will go to remove them, we simply don't know, they say they are going to keep talking to them, they said the work cannot get under way until the blocks are empty but we do not work is under way, 200 fire doors, self—closing doors, they arrived and work is under way today to install them as well as other remedial works. but you know, even

people who have been rehoused, there's still a lot of upset, immelman told me she is in hot hotel room, four children, one cooker ring and a bed, a small fridge, clearly upset, the disruption and upset is continuing. keith doyle, thank you. tom symons is with me now. we were told that the cladding was legally they did, it seems everything at the moment is failing government tests, how does that happen? it's quite possible with the government tests, we haven't been given details but i understand the government may make the details available later, that those tests are stricter and tougher than the current building regulations, this is material that on the face of it, should be legal under building regulations. the regulations effectively say any material used on the outside of a tall building has to be of limited combustibility, the cladding used at g re nfell tower combustibility, the cladding used at

grenfell tower volzing to that category, it was given certification in 1997 which allowed it to be of limited combustibility because the planes don't spread very fast according to that test. grenfell tower fire seems to suggest otherwise. of course other factors may have played a part so all of that suggests actually the big look now was going to be building regulations. they've evolved over time, many experts say they have not evolved to take account of these kinds of new refurbishment procedures and councils are using, the kind of cladding they are using to make buildings look better and be better insulate it so i think that is for everyone will look in future. tom, thank you. the first real details of the government's plans for brexit will appear in the next few hours — when theresa may outlines the uk's offer to eu nationals after we leave the european union. the prime minister will make a statement to mps revealing what she's prepared to offer eu nationals in the uk — and the guarantees she'll seek for british expatriates in europe. 0ur political correspondent leila nathoo is in westminster. there are are are still some

sticking points with whatever these details are? that's right, theresa may has already outlined the broad thrust of what she intends to offered to those 3 million eu citizens currently living in the uk. she has said those who have been here a lot play for five years will be given a package of rights including education, welfare, using the health service and pensions. everything british citizens have apart from the right to vote. but there are many unanswered questions yet on the details surrounding this proposal, for example, what would be the cut—off date for eligibility for those citizens to apply for this new settled status as it is called? we know the government says it will be sometime between the end of march this year when we formally began the process of leaving the eu and in two yea rs' process of leaving the eu and in two years' time when we actually read but we don't have a date as yet. we don't know what will happen to the relatives of those living here and

those living abroad, theresa may said she does not want families split up or people sent home and there would be a chance for people to apply to regularise their status and gain years to build up the time to be eligible to be settled. but there is a big question about who would arbitrate this system, british judges or european judges? would arbitrate this system, british judges or europeanjudges? theresa may has been clear she wants to leave the jurisdiction of the european court of justice leave the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice but this isa european court ofjustice but this is a reciprocal deal, she will only offer this to eu citizens in the uk if british citizens are granted the same rights, those living in use member states are granted the same lights. the response the eu so far has been this is not sufficient. theresa may will give her statement to the commons later this afternoon and the details will be published and the details will be published and we will look at them alight by line. thank you. and you can see more on that on a special programme on bbc one at

8:30pm. our top story this lunchtime: after 18 days the deal is done — the dup signs an agreement with the consevatives to bolster theresa may. at its heart — money — an extra £1 billion for northern ireland over two years. and still to come: he used to dream of playing at glastonbury. last night he headlined it. ed sheeran brought this year's festival to a close on a high. coming up in sport: a week away from the start of wimbledon, qualifying is under way at roehampton and there's plenty of british interest in the warm—up event at eastbourne. an inquest has begun into the deaths of five young friends who drowned during a day trip to camber sands on the south coast last august. the men all lived in the london area and were of sri lankan origin. the circumstances surrounding the deaths of two other swimmers who died at the same beach the month before, will also be

ta ken into account. duncan kennedy is outside the inquest in hastings in east sussex. yes, this is an extremely rare example of a double inquest because the coroner is looking at both of these incidents, the one where the five men drowned on camber sands in august last year and the other where two men drowned on exactly the same stretch of beach just a month beforehand. the family of the five men who drowned said to us today this had been an appalling tragedy for a family but they hoped nobody else would have to go through what they have been through. these are they have been through. these are the pictures which were taken as the horror of that warm sunny day last august unfolded. by the end of that day it became clear that five men including two brothers had drowned on camber sands. today the men's families who live in london came to

the inquest in hastings to hear the details of what happened to the loved ones. and to speak of what their loss meant. we are just hoping to learn that things will be more secure and safe, lifeguards, the beach more protected, that is our only thought, this is what we want, it is what you hear from. what have the last ten months been like for you and your family? jo tragic, tragic is the world. it's been helpless. nitharsan ravi was one of the five men to drown, the other words where kenugen saththiyanathan, his brother kobikanthan saththiyanathan, his brother kobikanthan saththiya nathan, gurusha nth srithavarajah, and inthushan sriskantharasa. they were all friends and had travelled to camber sands for a day out at the seaside. but it seems they all ran into difficulties on the huge undulate insurer line and lost their lives. the shock of their multiple deaths

was deepened by the fact that just a month beforehand, mohit dupar and gustavo silva da cruz all so joined the same beach. mohit dupar had gone into the to help gustavo silva da cruz but both men lost their lives. there were no permanent waveguides on the beach —— lifeguards. the district council decided it would station patrols near this year after what it called significant and unprecedented deaths. lawyers for the families of the men who died said today they were keen nobody should suffer the same appalling tragedy that they have been through. this inquest is expected to last about a week but the coroner has already said it will be made clear about recommendations for safety on camber sands and it could also apply right around our coastline. a minute's silence has been observed across the country to remember those

affected by the terrorist attack near the finsbury park mosque in london last week. one man died and several were injured. darren 0sborne, who's 47 and from cardiff, has been charged with murder and attempted murder. 0ur religious affairs correspondent martin bashir is outside islington town hall, one of the locations where the silence was marked. good afternoon simon, with the holy month of ramadan ending at the weekend there is normally a sense of unconstrained joy as muslims come together to celebrate. but following that attack in the early hours of last monday morning thatjoy has been pre—empted by a sense of sober remembrance. the floral tribute in finsbury park a reminder of events just a week ago. the fourth terrorist attack in just three months. and at midday a minute ‘s silence, the nation invited to pause

and remember those impacted by this latest attack. and then gathered outside influence internal, civic leaders, the local mayor and members of staff, many working and living locally all gathered to show solidarity with the muslim community in this multi ethnic part of north london. a gesture greatly appreciated by the chair of finsbury park mosque. we know we are here in a diverse community. we live in harmony for a long time, we never had problems, most people who try to divide us have failed and we have proved that in the last few days. that is why i am really glad that we have come together to make sure these people fail. and those sentiments were echoed by the leader of england can cancel —— islington

council who said the incident was designed to divide but it underestimated the people of this community. now, steering the royal navy's new £6 billion aircraft carrier out of port this afternoon will be a nerve—jangling affair for the team taking her out for her first sea trials. they have just 50 centimetres between the bottom of hms queen elizabeth and the seabed — and that's not a lot of room for a vessel weighing 65,000 tonnes. and once at sea they're expected to attract rather a lot of unwelcome attention — from the russians. here's our defence correspondent jonathan beale. the biggest warship ever built in britain is about to go to sea for the very first time. it's been one of the largest, most complex engineering projects in the uk that has taken years and cost more than £3 billion. hms queen elizabeth is now ready to set sail. her crew of 700 are finding their way around the labyrinth inside and getting used to life on board.

yeah, the beds, just the bed alone are bigger than you get on normal ships anyway so that's always a good start. yes, everything is better when it's newer, isn't it? this is just the start. it will be another year before the firstjets take off and land and she won't be fully operational until 2021. but this is a significant moment for the royal navy, it'll have been without an aircraft carrierfor almost a decade. i think there are very few capabilities by any country that are as symbolic and totemic as a carrier's strike capability. submarines you can't see, these are very visible symbols of national power and power projection. but first, they'll have to carefully manoeuvre this massive ship out of the dock with the help of 11 barges. just to give you a sense of scale, from one end of the deck to the other is about 300 metres, that is the length of the houses of parliament.

as far as height, from the keel to the top of that mast, that is taller than nelson's column and in fact they are going to have to lower that mast as they slide her through this dock, very narrow spaces and eventually having to take her under the bridges out there. that will be the beginning of her first sea trials. and later this year, if it all goes according to plan, she will be sailing into her new home of portsmouth. jonathan beale, bbc news. 0ur scotland correspondent lorna gordon is in rosyth dockyard in fife. i suppose steady as she goes? yes, there has been no secret that this aircraft carrier was getting ready to head out onto its sea trials and i think there will be a number of countries who will be taking an interest in what it gets up to in the north sea, not least the russians. they could well send

planes, submarines and ships to take a closer look to try to work out its acoustic footprint and its capability. this after all is the largest ship ever built by the royal navy come up for the royal navy, so vast that no 1—yard of capable of building it in its entirety, the work had to be spread throughout the uk and at its height 10,000 people we re uk and at its height 10,000 people were involved in the nine—year build. it really is a vast aircraft carrier, roughly three times larger than the previous class. you got a sense of how complicated the manoeuvre will be to get it out into the firth of forth, the teams are waiting for low tied and then 11 targets will be involved in manoeuvring it out of the dock, there is little room for error. about a foot on each side, about two feet between the bottom of the vessel and the sea bed. when that

manoeuvre is completed it will park up manoeuvre is completed it will park up here in the firth of forth waiting for the low tied to then get under the bridge. it will be an interesting afternoon, a lot of people taking an interest as this ship gets out into the north sea. thank you lorna gordon. 200,000 people are returning home and the clean—up operation has begun after the glastonbury music festival has come to a close. the giant party ended with a day of disco topped off with ed sheeran playing out on the main stage. lizo mzimba was there. for many, glastonbury‘s final day was disco day. there were bee gees classics from barry gibb. # stayin' alive, stayin' alive! watching from the sidelines, nile rodgers, who later took to the stage with chic, for disco hit after disco hit. # i'm coming up. # i want the world to know. # clap your hands. a huge crowd watching them in the somerset sunshine. # upside down. # boy, you turn me...

it's not just people famous from the world of music who have been performing at this year's festival. yes, that's american film and tv star kiefer sutherland playing country music with his band. he said performing at glastonbury was particularly special. it is almost like being invited into a part of history. closing this year, ed sheeran. his headline set an emotional climax to a festival that won't be back until 2019. # they say... crowd sings along. lizo mzimba, bbc news, glastonbury.
